Tenacious Sky

Chapter 18

"I think my hair is dry," I said, changing the subject. He let go of the towel before he cleared his throat. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"We should sleep," he said as he stood again. He took the towel from me to put it away as I crawled

under the covers. Leo turned the lights off before getting in the other side. He turned the lamp off

before the room went dead silent. I laid stiff as a board on my back with my eyes wide open.

"Goodnight, Sky," Leo said softly.

"Goodnight," I replied, my voice betraying me. I couldn't lie to myself: I was nervous. I laid there

motionless.

The next thing I knew, I was looking at a chest. I felt my arm and leg draped over a body as someone

held me. I looked up to see Leo sleeping peacefully. I tried to move off of him, but his grip held me in

place. I was stuck with my hand on his chest. He grumbled in his sleep. I had no choice but to lay

there. After about five minutes of laying there, Leo finally stirred awake. He looked down at me

confused. I didn't even know what to say. It took him a while to realize the position we were in before he

let go of me.

"Sorry," he apologized huskily. I sat up with a yawn.

"Don't be. I was halfway on top of you when I woke up," I brushed him off.

"I think that was the first time I didn't have nightmares," he said as he stood and stretched.

"You have nightmares normally?" I asked. He nodded.

"Literally every night expect last night," he answered before going into the bathroom. Every night? No

wonder he seemed tired all the time. After he was done in the bathroom, it was my turn. I brushed my

teeth and hair, wrapped my chest down, and changed out of my pajamas. When we were ready to go,

we went down to the dining room for breakfast. I expected the others to sleep in but surprisingly, they

were all there too.

"How's your room?" Easton asked as he sat at our table. I felt a blush creep into my face as I

remembered how we woke up this morning.

"Same as yours. Hotel rooms all go by a standard set ups," Leo answered in my place. Easton glanced

at him briefly before going back to his food.

"After we're done eating, we should head out. We're meeting the girls at the amusement park today. I

think Freya was really into you, Leo," Easton wiggles his eyebrows at him. Leo sighed heavily before

he set down his fork.

"I really don't care," Leo said briefly before looking over to my plate.

"Finish your food. You're going to need the energy," he said before he took his plate away.

"Do you realize you're the only person Leo pays attention to in, like, the entire world? What exactly did

you do to him?" Easton asked curiously. I shrugged. All I did was comfort him even when he tried to

push me away, but I couldn't let Easton know that.
